Saving millions of lives After waiting for almost 5 hours to see the doctor at the General Hospital in Ikeja, Lagos State, Mr. Olutayo Ayinla was finally given an appointment to see the consultant Cardiologist. But wait… it wasn’t the next day, but in the next 35 days because of so many patients on the waiting list. I could see the anger and frustration on his face as he entered my office. "Doctor, how will I wait so long to see the Cardiologist?": he said. "What if something goes wrong with my heart?...what will happen if my condition deteriorates?...what if my failing health and constant palpitations prevent me from coming to the hospital?" These are the many questions I find difficult to answer, and this is also the plight that the general population faces when it comes to booking an appointment with a consultant in a general hospital. With the recent economic recession in the country, consulting with a Cardiologist in a private hospital will not only cost a fort...

Richard Lamm Talking about " Democratization of healthcare " we need to remind ourselves of the 6 D's of exponential Technology: 1) Digitization : Once you digitise a product (like healthcare) into 1s and 0s, that product becomes infomation based tech and hips on exponential growth curve.

That is complete dematerialization and demonetization of photography. Same thing Docotal mobile app will do in healthcare revolution. The science of today is the technology of tomorrow. Edward Teller 4) Dematerialization:  Products and ser...

We live in a rapidly changing world where information even from doctors comes to us at break-neck speed through the internet. Thanks in large part to the  Internet of Things  (IoT), the world has become connected like never before. This has generated tremedous benefits across a variety of industries, with the healthcare sector not left behind. Harvard drop out turned microsoft founder, Bill gates wrote in his book “ The Road Ahead ” in 1995 that “over time, as the internet brings your work to your home, it will also bring many of the other good things from the city with it; college lessons, city tours, or conversations with doctors at hospital far away”.  The internet prophet actually saw the future some 20 years ago when he foretold that the traditional face to face conversation with the doctor would be better done through the internet using intelligent apps, wearables and other personal devices worn by the patients to measure his vital signs and send that information to his doctor fa...
